2006 | BMW M3 Competition Package 6-Speed
Overview
This 2006 BMW M3 flaunts best-spec optioning through and through, finished in Interlagos Blue Metallic over Black Nappa leather. Competition Package extras, a factory slick-top roof, and Shadowline exterior trim center this final year example’s sporting character. At the heart of this focused M-car, its 3.2L naturally aspirated inline-six engine boasts double-VANOS valve timing with individual throttle bodies sending power rearward to a limited-slip differential. M suspension nets forged lower arms and thrust plate plus strut tower bracing, aiding grip of spin-cast 19” wheels wrapped in Pilot Super Sport 4S tires. Cross drilled brakes, a Turner Motorsport rear sway bar, and Supersprint stainless exhaust system complete serene enthusiast upfits. Inside, heated power sports seats and OEM BMW Business CD/Harmon-Kardon audio meet milled aluminum and Alcantara accents to offer timeless cabin faire. Showing fewer than 40k miles, this M3’s exemplary condition benefits from extensive service records, a clean title, Carfax report, and Seller’s Disclosure.

BMW’s model lineup entering the 2000s exemplifies a golden era for devotees of the blue and white roundel. Rear and all-wheel drive chassis assembled in 3, 5, 7 and X-series offerings presented a spectrum of precision tools for any use case. A unique proposition, BMW’s 3-series served both as the marque’s point of entry and its top halo-car offering. This epoch’s summit of M-Performance set new standards in sports car development with the internally designated E46-generation M3.
.
Defined in equal parts by a refined inline-six power plant and balanced chassis, the M3 existed in an orbit of its own from 2001 to 2006. Its S54 engine revved to 8,000rpm in propelling a curb weight under 3500lbs. Automated SMG or enthusiast-grade manual shifting offered six-speed gearing, while premium interior appointments wooed buyers of would-be competitors. Throughout its run, inspiring choice in paint color and performance optioning added flair to the car’s sleek aesthetic and base faire. Seemingly since new, the model’s cult following continued to swiftly toward acclaim as a rising star in the collector marketplace.
